Metaprogramming consists of programming a program. In other words, you lay out code that the programming system executes to generate new code that implements the functionality you really want.

A look at what to watch out for in metaprogramming when it comes to speed, and: how ParseTree can be used to implement LISP/Scheme-style Macros in Ruby and avoid some of the issues of Open Classes.

Todd Veldhuizen gives recommendations that can help avoid this [5 ]. Template metaprogramming In 1994, during a meeting of the C++ standardization committee, Erwin Unruh first demonstrated an ability ...

Metaprogramming allows you to automate error-prone or repetitive programming tasks. You can use it to pre-generate data tables, to generate boilerplate code automatically that can't be abstracted into ...

With metaprogramming, repetitive boilerplate code can be eliminated through the use of templates. This allows functions to operate utilizing various data types without being rewritten.

As I’ve mentioned, metaprogramming in Groovy is a huge topic and well worth exploring. Here I’ve covered just enough to get you started with writing internal DSLs in Groovy.
